1. A right triangle has legs measuring 7 inches and 9 inches. What is true about the hypotenuse? *
The hypotenuse is about 11 inches and is less than the legs
The hypotenuse is about 5 inches and is less than the legs
The hypotenuse is about 5 inches and is greater than the legs
The hypotenuse is about 11 inches and it is greater than the legs

The hypotenuse is about 11 inches and it is greater than the legs

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, we have to apply the Pythagorean Theorem:  

c^2 = a^2 + b^2  

Where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle (the longest side) and a and b are the legs.  

Replacing with the values given:  

c^2 = 7^2 + 9^2  

c^2 = 49+81

c^2 = 130

c = √130

c = 11.40 inches  

The hypotenuse is about 11 inches and it is greater than the legs

11.40>7 ; 11.40 >9

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
